As some of you know, I was given the task of coordinating United Methodist work against the establishment of a lottery in Tennessee. For two years, I worked with a variety of folks (conservative and liberal) to try and convince voters that the lottery wouldn’t be our savior, that there were many justices issues involved, […]
Thinking Politically
As I was reading a bit on Hugo’s site about his rekindled interest in John Edwards for president, I stumbled upon this comment by Dwight: But while I am looking at Edwards more these days, I think the geography deal is oversold. It didn’t help Gephardt in Iowa being from a neighboring state. I wonder […]
Sermon Topic for Sunday
Finding Faith: Just Who Is God anyway, and why should we believe in Him . . . uh . . . Her . . .Whatever?
I Lived!
Well, I worked out today and didn’t injure myself. Surprisingly, I feel great (hey, these endorphin things are pretty cool). It was a good start. Now y’all just have to hold me accountable.
It’s An Organized Labor Plot
(AP) NASA’s Spirit rover stopped transmitting data from Mars for more than 24 hours, mission managers said Thursday, calling it an “extremely serious anomaly.” Yeah, the Rover heard about Bush’s plans for NASA, developed an inferiority complex, and went on strike!

Pray for Me…
I had a great day today. One of my church members came by the office to share how God was working in his life. He shared deeply and it was clear that God is taking him to a new place. After he finished sharing and telling about what God is doing for him, he said […]

Iowa, Oh Iowa
Let me say at the outset that as a United Methodist minister I am not making any suggestions to the members of my congregation regarding who to vote for. Far be it from me to put our non-profit tax status at risk. Having said that, I’ve been thinking a bit about the caucuses tonight. By […]

It’s Finished
It’s 4:45 a.m. and I just finished my sermon on the nature of faith. Just in case you are worried that I haven’t had ANY sleep, I should note that I went to be around 11 and woke up at 3:30 to finish. Does the sermon make sense? Who knows? I think I offer some […]

Exhaustion
I spent most of the day leading our Church Council in planning for the year. We adopted a new leadership structure on January 1, and I’m having to spend many hours helping us think about and learn how to live life together in a new way. The church I serve is a traditional United Methodist […]
Article for my church newsletter
I’ve never been one for making New Year’s resolutions. Oh, I’ve made them in the past, but I can’t ever think of a time where they’ve stuck. Every year, I think about all the ways I need to improve – from losing weight to being more organized – and believe that I’m going to get […]
The father didn’t know what to do. He looked again at his boy who stood with his head against the wall, slowly tapping it in time with some unknown song that played in his head. The boy had not spoken for weeks, consumed by some demon, some force which transformed the lilt and giggle of […]
Heading to the Moon?
WASHINGTON – President Bush (news – web sites), envisioning “new journeys to the worlds beyond our own,” unveiled a plan Wednesday to send astronauts to the moon, Mars and beyond on missions sure to cost hundreds of billions of dollars and stretch the bounds of technology. He called for a manned lunar landing as early […]

The endless redesign
Okay, the blog is working fine in IE-6, but I’m not sure about netscape. I’ve validated the code and all seems okay. If this is displaying funny, please let me know.
Yes, I know I’m having problems…
I’m still playing with the blog template. I’m thinking about starting over from scratch since I have too many things happening right now which is causing some incompatibility errors. Bear with me…
